I will definitely watch out for throat clearing! One thing I try to do in my blog posts, if possible, is to think about if it helps solve my customers problems (its a b2b blog). I realize after reading this post that I need to be more personal, and maybe should include a pic the way that Lisa does.

On the more technical blogs, I most enjoy those that present their case well, with enough evidence to back up their conclusions.

I tried blogging a few times (personal blog, mostly about music). Actually got traffic and responses, which amazed me to no end.

But it was too darned much work after a long day writing apparel copy. Enough is enough.

OK, informative, too, but most of all funny.

I like funny. As the Reader’s Digest says, laughter is the best medicine. I need my daily dose.

I have a personal blog that I’ve kept for well over eight years now. When I started my other non-personal blog, Practically Intuitive, I assumed (what I thought was) a more “mature” voice. Doing that strangled my flow. The best advice I got from Kelly Diels was “bring your personal blog voice over to PI because it’s really who you are”.

Once I did that, things just flowed again. Oh sure, I don’t go on about my love for all things David Cook on PI (shh! I’m a fangirl, what can I say) or rant about my political views and other extraneous matter on PI, but I do keep my dorky self intact and often write from that perspective. And if someone sticks around, I’ll know they love me for me – dorkiness and all! :)

Thanks for this post – it really stood out for me.

thanks,
